Have a all stainless gun id like to turkey hunt with. Whats the thoughts on turkeys seeing it. Is the color the issue or just the movement? Cant bring myself to painting it and wrapping wouldn't work well Its a vent rib and break action. Thanks
Its a TC contender the dipping it would kill the value in my opinion!!
Its more of a dull stainless but don't want to call and release over the gun either.
I doubt it will hurt you at all. Sit in the shade and don't wave it at them.
Anytime you carry something reflective into the hunting woods you are handicapping yourself. You can't stay in the shadows forever. When the light hits it just right from the animals point of view it will flash and it's game over. I have seen guys slipping through the woods with blued shotguns that were shiny or reflective and when the sun hit it just right it would flash, that's how I would knew they were there and it's a dead giveaway. It might not be a problem on a rifle type hunt but im sure most game animals don't overlook that flash.
I agree. You might get away with it sometimes,but you might end up with more call and release than most guys would want..
Get that thing dipped!
I'm sure I could kill with stainless but there's no way it won't have some affect.
We wait all year for 1 month of hunting and just have way to many things against us from the start to handicap ourselves
One bird spooks from it and I guarantee you will regret it lol

for non-permanent camo, cut a long strip of 2" wide thin camo netting and wrap it around the barrel.

This will work too:

I don't know if they still make them but there used to be something called the gun sleeve. Only concern is the break action. Here is another option https://www.cabelas.com/product/McNett-Camo-Form-Protective-Camouflage-Gun-Wraps/707441.uts?productVariantId=1395287&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=20023065&rid=20&ds_rl=1246555&ds_rl=1246558&ds_rl=1252245&ds_rl=1252079&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIopm_rdWB5gIVlYrICh0Azgs2EAkYBSABEgKDJvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I wouldn't hunt with a stainless firearm in the woods for turkeys. You don't have any other firearm available? Gotta be the only person without a beater 870 kicking around, for the cost of dipping you could find a used one.
I wouldn't try it, I am still amazed out how fast a gobbler can pick out my orange vest 15 feet up a tree while deer hunting, and I am not moving any!
If it's the same stainless as my Encore, take the darn thing hunting. It's such a low shine finish, I've seen blued barrels reflect sun much worse.
Yes it's the flat dull finish.
Just buy a roll of camo tape and wrap it. Been putting camo tape on a Bps upland with a vent rib barrel for over 20 years. Bluing and finish still look great. Or get one of the mossy oak vinyl camo wrap kits, they work well and are a more long term solution while still being removable.
Like mentioned above try the Mossy Oak wrap kit. I put one on a 1187 Premier. We I took it off about 3 yrs. later the gun looked like new. Fairly easy to put on and no sticky tape residue when I took it off.

I used tape for a lot of years and it protects your gun from scratches but if you hunt in a good rain I would take the tape off to dry the gun out then re apply some more tape. One roll would at least Camo your gun barrel and receiver a couple times at least.
Hunt with it and try as best you can to stay in the shade or set up where he's going to be in shotgun range before he realizes the jig is up.
The woods I hunt have bright orange tape everywhere and yellow paint trees on property lines. They don't care. If they going to bust you with a stainless gun they were going to bust you with a camo gun.
There is a company that makes real nice covers for barrels, actions, and stocks. Kane gun chaps. I think they are still around. They are nice, durable, and come in great camo patterns. They are gun specific. Good luck....
